Animals in Winter
As students learn about animal adaptations for winter including hibernation, migration and survival there are many great resources out there for animal lovers!
One of my favorites is the Bear Cam from the North American Bear Center. Here you can watch real bears in their dens. In the past years these cameras have recorded the miracle of birth as mothers give birth to cubs and care for them in the den. You can see different Bear Cams and learn lots of interesting bear facts at www.bear.org. Just a sidenote that before you get taken to the webcams, there is a short advertisment.
For something really interesting take a look at this fox hunting in several feet of snow. Foxes are master listeners as they are tuned to what is happening under the snow. Watch and then run to your library to check out Over and Under the Snow by Kate Messner.
You can read more books about animals in winter at your library! A few of these titles can be found at our school library, but most can be found at the public library.
